Bears end hibernation against winless Ducks
■Astrong offense gives
California a convincing win, but
not before the Ducks fight back
in the third game
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
It took six matches and 16 games,
but it looks as though the Oregon
offense has begun to wake up.
However, it wasn’t good enough
against California, as the Ducks (8-7
overall, 0-6 Pacific-10 Conference)
lost to the Golden Bears (5-6,1-4) in
three games (30-23, 30-23, 32-30)
Friday at Haas Pavilion, but not be
fore putting up a fight.
After dropping the first two
games to Cal in a convincing fash
ion, the Oregon women bounced
back in the third. Behind 26-17,
head coach Carl Ferreira’s squad
fought back, winning 11 of the next
13 points. But a service error by
freshman Katie O’Neil and block
assists by the Bears’ Candace Mc
Namee and Camilla Leffall put the
Ducks down for good. It was just a
case of too little, too late for the Ore
gon squad.
“Their service was better than
our passing, which got us out of our
rhythm,” Ferreira said. “Our vol
leyball execution was good in the
third game until the end of the
match.”
For the second night in a row,
junior Stephanie Martin led the
Ducks with 11 kills and chipped in
with four blocks. Junior Sydney
Chute also came in strong for the
Ducks, assisting on 28 points, but
hit for a negative-.375 percentage,
worst on the squad. Senior
Monique Tobbagi, playing her last
match as a Duck in the Bay Area,
where she is from, pitched in with
eight kills and seven digs.
But it wasn’t enough as the Gold
en Bears outmatched the Oregon
defense. Cal led the match with 50
kills, compared to the Ducks’ total
of 31. To make matters worse, the
Oregon women hit for a team-com

game that we did.”
Entering the game, Oregon’s
pass defense was ranked in the
bottom-half of the Pac-10. The
Ducks, however, will move up
in that category after holding
Arizona quarterback Jason John
son to 7-of-15 passing for 132
yards.
The Ducks also capitalized on
five Arizona (3-2, 0-2) turnovers,
scoring on each extra possession.
Senior linebacker Wesly Mal
lard grabbed his second intercep
tion of the season, recovered a
fumble and led the Ducks with
seven tackles. Linebacker David
Moretti also had a pick, his first of
the year.
“Early in the year, we were get
ting turnovers but we weren’t get
ting anything out of them,” head
coach Mike Bellotti said after the
game. “Today, they translated into
points, and that’s what good
teams do.”
Good teams also come back
with pressure, as the Ducks have
done time after time.
Harrington and Co. came out
on fire, scoring two touchdowns
by the 3:38 mark of the first quar
ter. Arizona, however, put togeth
er an impressive, six-play, 86
yard drive late in the first quarter
to cut the Ducks’ lead in half.
“I still think there’s room for
improvement. We have to
find a way to improve ever
single game. That’s been
our battle cry.”
Mike Bellotti
head coach, Oregon
After a quick three-and-out se
ries for Oregon to start the sec
ond quarter, Arizona running
back Clarence Farmer — the
lone highlight for the Wildcats,
rushing for 156 yards in the
game — broke free for 87 yards
to set up another Wildcat score,
tying the game at 14 with 13:38
to play in the first half.
But the ’Cats’ next sudden
move would prove to be their
ninth life.
Arizona attempted an onside
kick, which was recovered by the
kicking team, but just before the
required 10-yard line.
Oregon’s ball. Oregon’s game.
Three play later, Harrington hit
a wide open Josh Line inside the
Arizona 10-yard line, and two
plays after that, Harrington ran in
three yards for his second score of
the game.
Arizona missed on a 51-yard
field goal attempt on the next
drive, setting up Harrington’s
bomb to Parker at 6:09 in the sec
ond quarter.
Five minutes later, Harrington
hit tight end Justin Peelle for a 17
yard score, Peelle’s sixth touch
down of the season.
Out of the locker room, the Ducks
scored on four of their first five pos
session, ending with Smith’s five
yard run early in the fourth quarter.
Backup quarterback Jason Fife,
a redshirt sophomore, saw his
first action of his collegiate career,
finishing 4-of-5 for 46 yards.
Oregon led 63-14 until late in
the fourth quarter when Arizona’s
third-string quarterback, redshirt
freshman John Rattay, led the
Wildcats to two scores against the
Oregon reserves.
“I still think there's room for
improvement,” Bellotti said. “We
have to find a way to improve
every single game. That’s been
our battle cry.”
Runners finish second
at the Willamette Open
ft Despite sending only three of
the top four runners, the Ducks
place second thanks to Laura
Harmon’s third-place finish
By Chris Cabot
Oregon Daily Emerald
Tom Heinonen’s harriers traveled
north to Salem and brought home a
second-place finish at the Willamette
Cross Country Open on Saturday. Af
ter winning the event the previous
two years, the Oregon women’s cross
country team could not top the
Hawaii Rainbow Wahine.
In a field of 388 competitors, most
of whom were with non-Division 1
schools, Hawaii’s Cheryl Smith
crossed the line first with a time of
16:56.33. Oregon sophomore Laura
Harmon finished third among Divi
sion-1 runners, with a time of
17:51.55, behind another Rainbow
Wahine runner, Casey McGuire-Tor
cott, and four non-Division-1 runners.
Harmon’s average mile time over
the 5,000-meter course was 5:44,
which was 17 seconds off Smith’s
average mile time.
Along with Harmon, the Duck’s
Annette Mosey finished sixth among
Division-1 runners (35th overall)
with a time of 18:32.50. Mosey’s fel
low sophomore Alicia Snyder-Carl
son placed seventh (49th overall),
followed almost nine seconds later
by freshman Sara Schaaf (13th, 79th
overall, 19:03.07), junior Annie
Davis (14th, 89th overall, 19:12.04)
and freshman Taylor Bryant (21st,
127th overall, 19:32.17).
Several Oregon runners also en
tered the race competing unattached.
Eri Macdonald finished 33rd overall
in atime of 18:31.69. Haripurkh Khal
sa (189th, 20:05.29) and Rachelle
Miller (209th, 20:15.04) also ran.
Macdonald has been hampered
due to injury this season, but looks
to be getting back to her old form.
Last year, the junior from Honolulu
scored in every race for Oregon.
Coming up next weekend for
both the men and women is the Fur
man Invitational in Greenville, S.C.,
where many of the top teams in the
country will compete.
